The Ultimate Momcation Destination Blog

Moms need a vacation too! Welcome to the age of the Momcation, where mothers across the globe are venturing out for mini solo getaways of their own. Not only do these trips allow some away time from their partner and kids, but they provide the opportunity for moms to truly relax, recharge, focus on themselves and break out of their comfort zones. While some moms choose to venture out on exotic excursions in other countries, others opt for more of a “staycation” momcation or planning a getaway closer to home. Keep reading to discover how to have the ultimate Momcation at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City! Step one, treat yourself to some quality “me-time” with a world-class spa treatment from Exhale Spa + Bathhouse! Ocean’s adult-only spa provides therapeutic, results-oriented body and skin care services designed to promote ultimate inner and outer wellbeing. All treatments include access to Exhale’s Zen bathhouse, which features amenities like a Himalayan Salt Grotto, jetted pools, Jacuzzis, and a steam room and sauna. Alternatively, if you’re only interested in unwinding at the bathhouse, a day pass can be purchased to enjoy its many offerings from dawn to dusk. Hotel guests can purchase an all-access day pass for $99, and non-guests can grab theirs for $120. Steps away from Exhale Spa + Bathhouse is Atlantic City’s only indoor/outdoor pool, the renowned Eclipse Pool.
